highway lights

Freeway lamp posts

Highway lights are the tall lamp posts lining major roads, illuminating traffic lanes for nighttime driving.

The term may also refer to the lights on vehicles themselves—headlights, taillights, and marker lights required for highway travel: The truck's highway lights cut through the fog.
